Maury, according to your own statement, you made two unsafe choices. First, you pulled into the street in front of a loaded log truck already at speed and momentum. Wait for a safe entrance into the roadway. The truck driver merged into the passing lane (inside lane) in order to give you a safer entrance into the street. Second, you should have gave the truck driver the courtesy by letting the truck merge back into the right lane (right lane), but instead you sped up beyond the speed limit just to get in front of the truck. --Calvin
